RE: We Thought They Were White: An African-American Apologizes for Misattributed Perceptions of White Racism Against Blacks Perpetrated by Jews

I really liked your post. I'd love to resteem. It's really interesting to debunk all these stereotypical notions about racism. At the same time, jewish people usually take the role of victims of discrimination themselves. Millions of them were victims of persecutions, yes. But I've never known a single one who would examine history and recognize the role they played (and play) in oppressing other people.

Hey, thanks for reading. Resteem away.

"But I've never known a single one who would examine history and recognize the role they played (and play) in oppressing other people."

Indeed. It'd be especially nice if Americans, particularly the bulk of American Christians, weren't so emotionally blinded by their need to "stand with [the herd, and] Israel" to take a step back and question who's wars they're really fighting, and why.
